D, if you don't slow a little bit, you'll have extreme withdrawl issues when you run out of possible mods.maybe you should wait until your Stillen kit is on. I think that will influence how a spoiler will flow with the rest of your car.
makes you wonder if he resorts to black fingernails during down times.

My fignernails did get black during the headlight chrome trim painting project. I am waiting to get a good hookup to a body shop thats reasonably priced and produces good work. In the meantime, I can do smaller projects, like tinting the cornering lights and painting brake calipers. I am itching to do something.
I agree that its better to wait til Stillen kit is on before I decide on the spoiler. Im pretty sure I want the Altima spoiler in the above pictures. Im not sure if it fits. Can anyone photoshop that on a black max?

I got an email from a company that sells the Altima spoiler on that blue car above. They indicated that it is custom made for the altima and will not fit the maxima. Im not convinced. I have parked next to an Altima and the trunks appear to be the same shape and contours. Can anyone help me determine if the Altima trunk is that different?
If they are that different, Aerogear makes a spoiler I like that is universal. Here is a pic:
Opinions???

What about this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33638
I think people have this one already. How do you guys like it? It seems like a great price for a painted spoiler, and the company seems pretty reputable with a 13,800 score and 99.6% rating.
On another note, is the factory "lip" spoiler just taped on?

You can even try and see what JerryRome has them for... I think they had the painted one for $200, and they were offering a 25% discount on some parts. Check out the 6th gen classifieds section for a link.

Plus you're putting the $ into a .org member, if that matters...

Yeah, double-sided tape.

I remember reading that the OEM lip comes with only tape for mounting. Perhaps when they (Nissan) installs it, they drill or something, but AFAIK I don't remember reading anything about holes. I know there are holes where the logo is, and some people take off the logo and fill/paint the thing, but as far as the spoiler itself, I thought it was attached with just tape.

Been looking for this. Thanks MSOEMAX. My Girlfriend just picked my OEM spoiler up at the dealership and was wondering if anyone knew what the process was to install on an SL, e.g.(remove trunk hamburger badge, does the OEM spoiler require screws, etc.?) Just wondering. I haven't seen it yet so I don't know. Also, I've broken one nylon retainer clip that holds up the map lights/sunroof control panel and I cannot nor can about 5 Nissan dealers locate them on any schematic. Just wondering if anyone knew of the part number for this Nylon retainer clip? JP

sorry, don't know about the clips...spoiler is held on by using double sided 3M tape. To remove the hamburger you should use your GF hair dryer and heat uo that area. Some have used dental floss/fishing line to assist in pulling off the burger. that should be all...post pics if you can when you take apart the door...

When they took off my OEM spoiler to install the leds there were 4 holes in the trunk lid. Take off the cover on the lid and see if you see any holes. Pal379, are you going to CT. on the 9th? Later Warren

OK, Im not gonna put the Universal Aerogear spoiler on. Also, I measured an Altima trunk and it is THREE INCHES WIDER than the Maxima trunk!!!! SO its no go, which is too bad cuz I liked the Altima Aerogear spoiler. I really dont like the stock boring lip spoiler and the G35 spoiler is only slightly less boring. I also dont want ricey-looking things sticking on the back. The search goes on.

Well, getting back to the topic, did everyone agree that the lip spoiler is just taped on?? Can we confirm this with anyone thats actually removed it??
-MO-
PS- Would adding a bigger spoiler to the small lip spoiler really look that bad?? The lip doesnt even look like a spoiler so I think no one would notice the two unless they are maxima owners

I don't see why the lip would NEED screws or whatever as opposed to the "wing" type spoilers though... and it'd make sense that, if it NEEDED hardware to mount it other than tape, then when you buy it from Nissan it would come with that hardware, and there would be instructions to bolt the thing on to the car... seems to me to be the standard with Nissan parts anyway.

To each his own, I guess...

Ive read quite a few times that there ARE holes under the oem spoiler. Looks like Ramberg confirmed it in the earlier post. Anyone else back him up FO SHO???
There are a few who have done the duel spoiler. I think it looks pretty good, but looks REALLY good with no oem and a wing. My 2 cents....
And I sure would love to take off my oem and add a wing!

I believe if you buy an aftermarket one, even from Nissan, it is only 3M though. but it appears our stock ones are nicely fastened w/ 3 screws.

This doesnt look bad at all!! If I find that my lip is drilled on, then I might as well leave it. Do you know how hard it was from your friend to install the wing?? And where did he get that one from, it looks like the one on the ebay link I posted at the top of this page. Can anyone confirm?
